Children of the Lion by Peter Danielson

Bold men of destiny, marked by the sign of the lion, and women of beauty and courage sprang from nameless oblivion to command the power of kings. A slave since birth...a man without a tribe...an innocent virgin sacrificed to the lusts of godless men.

Across the vast, burning expanse between two empires - caravens driven by fate - they forged the weapons of hotblooded conquest and desire. In a great and fabled age of treachery and debauchery, they rose above their searing shame to flee the fiery destruction of Sodom and beget the CHILDREN OF THE LION.
